Very rare to see em here in OKC. Mostly trucks on the road. 2 modded ones that I know of. Both look really tastefully done though. Can't wait to get mine and start turnin' heads

I'm in North Texas right now and even though I've seen other SC around, they aren't very common. In fact I got my oil changed earlier today and the techs were ooh-ing and ahh-ing over my stocker. "Check out these hinges" one of them said to the other...lol...

I've lived in OH, TX, and CT and I've seen about ten SC in person and two of them were mine. Not very common, but it's no surprise when you consider that the MSRP of a new SC was $50k. Even still, a good condition SC still costs a pretty penny for such an old car.

Yeah, all of I ever see are trucks with huge exhausts and loud Mustangs/Camaros. I had never seen an SC until I moved to OKC though.

I used to live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and I rarely ever see SC's down there now. I saw a few black ones around the Benbrook area, but that's it.

I see the same 3 or 4 all the time, but that's pretty much it. There's a guy I know who has a 1jz swapped '93 which is gold, a blue/green '95 (I think) that a guy who works across the street from me drives, and a white one that I see at a local chinese restaurant a lot.

That's pretty much it.

Maybe once a month I'll see one that isn't one of those. It's pretty hard to find a clean one around here. I've been toying with the idea of selling my WRX to pick up a 97+, but all the ones I see are either crazy expensive ($12k+) or have like 200k miles.

Louisville is lousy with them. I see them almost every day, normally more than one a day. Although I am to the best of my knowledge the only factory 5speed in town according to Lexus of Louisville that is. If you're in Louisville PM me I'd love to have a mini meet over dinner or something

LOL I only see them every other month. And I drive everywhere. Most of them are stock and in mint condition compared to mine. They don't ever acknowledge my SC. I guess they're not into them like I am. Then again it's maybe because the people I see driving them are people that look like they are in their 40-50

They're really rare here in Toronto. Honestly I probably see about 12 SC's and 3-4 Soarers per year around the city. Usually stock and tired-looking unfortunately

I see many SC400's and to a lesser degree SC300's around Los Angeles all the time. They're usually completely stock. I never see other 5-speeds, just autos. Many of them have factory chrome wheels and are later models.
